Re Face Masks - I have to wear one on behind reception and honestly I hate it. I have tried the cotton ones so I can wash overnight and my boss bought me one of those plastic overhead ones - even worse as it steams up in the heat here plus hurts my head - makes me think of Frankinstein.....

Post by: Lesley on July 31, 2020, 09:55:27 AM: Anyone read the report in the news yesterday by some USA Professor now claiming FaceMasks are not enough and we should be looking for full face coverings including eye protection to be fully proctected!!
Also be advised from yesterday FaceMasks are to be worn in all enlclosed shops here in Greece - for example I went to Sidari yesterday evening to play the Lottery and needed to wear my facemask inside the shop......
